She Called Me a Thief in My Own Store Chapter 10
When Christine heard this, she completely broke down. She collapsed onto the ground, sobbing uncontrollably and repeating, "I was wrong, Dad. I really was wrong. Please forgive me…"But it was too late. The police officers took the three of them away in a police car. As the vehicle drove out of the town, it kicked up a cloud of dust. Along with it, the father-daughter bond I'd spent decades building was carried away too. I watched the police car disappear into the distance and let out a quiet sigh. This absurd father-daughter relationship had finally come to an end.…Days passed, and the court's verdict was finally out. Christine, Daniel, and Marge were convicted of misappropriating another person's property, refusing to fulfill their legal duty to support a dependent parent, and participating in the disguised sale and purchase of a person. They were sentenced to three years, two and a half years, and two years in prison, respectively. The three of them were also ordere

"You traded me away for a gold necklace and a 200-thousand-dollar wedding gift. You kicked me out of my own home and treated your own father as an object of transaction."I gave you everything I had and raised you for decades, and this is how you repay me? Christine, ask yourself honestly, do you deserve to call yourself my daughter? Do you deserve to ask me to save you?" I sneered.Every word I spoke struck Christine's heart like a heavy hammer. Her face flushed red, then turned deathly pale. She opened her mouth, but not a single word came out. She could only stare blankly at me. Seeing that I wouldn't budge, Marge suddenly changed her tune. She scrambled to her feet and pointed at me, barking furiously, "Allan Parker, you old bastard! Don't push your luck! Christine is your own daughter! "If you don't withdraw the lawsuit and she goes to prison, you'll be all alone for the rest of your life. When you die, there won't even be anyone to bury you!"Daniel chimed in, his tone thr

Daniel tried to protect Christine, but several burly men restrained him, leaving him completely helpless.In the end, they had no choice but to sign an IOU before the others finally cooled down.…Life back in my hometown was peaceful and comfortable. Every morning, I'd get up early and take a walk by the brook at the edge of the town, chatting and playing chess with my old friends. At noon, I'd head home, where Joshua would cook me a piping hot, homemade meal. In the evening, I'd sit in the garden, feel the cool breeze, and gaze up at the stars.There was no endless work, no cold words or harsh accusations, and no carefully calculated schemes. This was what true retirement was meant to be.Afraid I'd get bored, Joshua patiently taught me how to use a smartphone. Little by little, I learned how to watch videos, order groceries online, and video chat with my old friends.Every now and then, I'd see fathers and daughters in the town spending time together, and a faint ache wo
She Called Me a Thief in My Own Store Chapter 7
Christine had been willing to trade her own father away to a complete stranger for a gold necklace and a 200-thousand-dollar wedding gift. All the years I'd spent giving everything I had, all the hopes I'd held onto—they had all been a joke.For countless nights, I'd tossed and turned, unable to understand how my own daughter could be so cruel. I'd even wondered if I'd done something wrong, if I hadn't been a good enough father, or if I'd simply grown old and become a burden to her.It wasn't until she threw me out of her home and forced me into marrying Joan for the sake of money that I finally came to my senses.She had never seen me as her father. I was just her personal ATM, her free labor, a tool she could manipulate and discard whenever she pleased.Once I'd finally understood that, I felt not the slightest bit of sadness. Instead, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief.As I gazed at the sunlight spilling across the garden, I realized for the first time that leaving that

The courier's words had barely fallen when an uproar erupted throughout the banquet hall. Christine, caught in the middle of it all, collapsed to the floor with an ashen face.She picked up her phone again and frantically called me. But the call still wouldn't go through.Just then, Daniel stepped up to the courier. "Give me your phone! Now!"Startled, the courier instinctively handed over his phone. Daniel grabbed it and quickly passed it to Christine.On my end, seeing that the call was coming from the courier, I answered. But instead of the courier's voice, what I was met with was a barrage of curses. The voices of all three family members clamored over one another. "Dad! What the hell are you doing? I've already paid back the 200 thousand dollars and returned the gold necklace too. Why won't you leave us alone? Are you trying to drive me to my grave?""Dad, have a heart. If you push things too far, you're going to lose your family.""Allan Parker, you old bastard! You think

"Joan says she loves you, and she's willing to give you a ceremony. She also gave you a 200-thousand-dollar wedding gift which I've already accepted on your behalf. Remember to show up on time."With that, Christine hung up the phone, leaving me no chance to argue.I stood there, watching my phone screen slowly turn dark. Joshua was beside me, bent over as he tidied up my room. As I looked at his back, whatever father-daughter affection I had left for Christine disappeared completely.I called out to him. "Joshua, do you know… how to find a lawyer?"…The next day, the biggest banquet hall in the city was decorated festively. Joan Schultz sat backstage in a wedding dress. The dress was so tight around her body that she looked like a moldy ball of dough tied up with a string.Struggling just to breathe, she kept tugging at the neckline of her dress while asking Christine beside her, "Christine, is your dad really coming?" Christine quickly put on a reassuring smile. "Of cour
